OK try it this way: Brown chicken pieces, add tomatoes, onion, ham, sausge, sherry, spices, raisins and almonds. Return to simmer, cover and cook about twenty minutes. Remove lid and thicken with flour, corn starch, masa flour, whatever you desire, to thicken, or simply let it cook down, uncovered. This should ensure that everything is cooked. Sorry for the confusion, Margaret. When I brown my chicken pieces on all sides, they are cooked, believe me. I use high heat to brown the chicken pieces and we have yet to have raw chicken.
